Doberman Pinscher Dog Breed Profile

Added on Jan 1st, 2008
IF YOU HAVE TIME & ARE CONSIDERING A DOBERMAN PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: The bloodlines will determine exact height & weight Example- Our dobeys mother is 32" tall & 120lbs and his father is around 36"tall & 150lbs, His grandmother was over 120lbs and he has an uncle weighing in at 180lbs. They are heavier than most Dobeys, not to mention several inchestaller. My Doberman is now 6 months old & well over 75-80lbs. We go through20lbs of dog food in a week & a half (again bloodlines are a big part of this). It is very important to know your breeder, DONT impulse buy. Bloodlines are a crucial part in the development, size, and temperament of your dog. Another consideration is Dobermans are stubborn & need to be told no for the same thing several times in a positive NONE abusive manner. They are sensitive. They require a patient, loving, FIRM owner who has the time needed to properly train them. They are NOT for first time dog owners. As for the White dobeys-They are not Deleterious to the general breed. They tend to have more skin problems as would any white color dog. But that's about it. Dobermans are great. they make wonderful companions. They bond quickly & its a hard bond to break. There are too many dobeys "cast" out because buyers didn't realize what they were getting into or they ended up with an aggressive dog due to lack of or poor training (this goes back to being a first time dog owner you have to know how much is enough and how much is too much). Sadly they are hard to Re-Adopt so many are euthanized. Many people buy them because they are "Dobermans". Hede1816@hotmail.com
